Stacy Wyant is a fan of the Bluff Point United Methodist Church! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 08-06-26 Pastor Jeannine showed the children a box of brownie mix. She wondered if the kids like brownie sundaes. Do they like brownies? Do they like to share? Would they eat the mix by itself? No, you need eggs, water and oil and to spray the pan before you bake. You have to add things… we need to add others in our lives to make our lives complete as well! Pastor Jeannine told us we need to turn things over to God. We need to pray. God is with us when we step out of our comfort zone. He’s with us all the time! Christine Wyant has raffle tickets for a camp for special needs children that the PY Rotary is sponsoring if you are interested! The winner will receive some beautiful folding Adirondack chairs. Ron Miller is in charge of the Hope Walk on August 15th at Fireman’s field. Please support this! All the money collected supports people affected by cancer in Yates County. All the money stays locally. There will be a yard sale that morning- please bring donated items early that day and pick up other things you might need for a monetary donation. Thank you, Dick Smith for reading scripture today. We’re always glad to have visitors in our congregation. Please come and join us Sundays at 9 AM.

Thank you Christie and Marilyn for tasty snacks! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 07-30-26 Our lesson this past Sunday was about weeds among the wheat. Gathering the weeds before harvest would upset the wheat. Pastor Jeannine lamented about the English garden. An English garden is a design of the master gardener. There are no weeds to detract from the flowers. Pastor Jeannine asked us if this would be nice if our world was like this. Christian life is a journey. Church is like a messy garden. We welcome all…a hospital for sinners, not a museum. Jesus welcomed the tax collector and prostitutes. He felt they would enter the kingdom of God first. We will be selling cookies at the community concert in the park on July 29th. We also will be selling the Oak Hill barbeque chicken on August 22. Lots of opportunities for service. Come worship 9am Sundays with us!

Thank you, Dick Smith for reading our scripture this past week! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 07-23-26 Pastor Jeannine asked the kids if they had ever grown anything. She talked about planting seeds. If you sow seeds on the carpet, will they grow? If you spread them on the ground, will they grow or will they grow better with water, sunshine and if they are covered with dirt? God hears us like we nourish and tend to our plants and seeds. God nourishes us and tends to the heart of our souls. In addition to tending to our plants, we need to tend to our friendships. Sometimes we don’t see someone for a long period of time and when we catch up it is like we never had been apart. Whatever the situation, we need to cultivate our friendships and relationships with active communication and love. God touches us and we touch the lives of others. Please come worship with us. You are new to the area or just even visiting we openly welcome you to our worship services at 9 AM on Sundays.
Bluff Point UMC
Outreach Missions
United Methodists have believed, from the beginning, that each of us is called to participate in the outreaching ministry of Jesus Christ. John Wesley described this work in simple, practical terms: "Do all
the good you can, in all the places you can, to all the people you can."
We, at Bluff Point UMC, are on a journey to share the message of Jesus through our actions. Below is a current list of the mission related activities supported by our church family. Feel free to investigate each ministry, pray about your involvement and contact us.
